Install Our Caring Circle
Caring Circle works in any browser — but installing it on your home screen turns it into a real app: push notifications, full-screen launch, and your own icon. Pick your device below.

Each guide is short and uses real screenshots from inside Caring Circle.
iPhone (iOS Safari)
Install from Safari's Share menu. Required for push notifications on iPhone (iOS 16.4 or later).
iPhone guide →Android (Chrome)
Install from Chrome's menu or the install banner. Push notifications work either way — install just makes it feel native.
Android guide →Desktop (Chrome / Edge)
Install from the address bar to get a dedicated window, no browser chrome, and a Start menu or Dock entry.
Desktop guide →Why install?
It's the same Caring Circle, with a few things you can only get from an installed app.
Push notifications
The right interrupt at the right moment — a task you claimed needs attention, an appointment is in 30 minutes, a sibling joined the circle.
Home-screen icon
Caring Circle sits next to Mail and Messages. One tap in, instead of typing the URL or hunting for a Safari tab.
Full-screen launch
No browser bar, no clutter. The app opens like Calendar or Reminders — just Caring Circle, edge to edge.
Free, no app store
Caring Circle installs straight from the web. No App Store or Play Store account needed, no separate download.
Common questions
Do I need to install Caring Circle to use it?
No. The browser version has every feature except push notifications on iPhone. Most families end up installing on their phone anyway because it's the quickest way to reach the app.
Will installing cost me anything?
No. Installing is free on every device, and Caring Circle's Free plan stays free after install — installation doesn't change anything about your account.
What if I install on more than one device?
That's fine — install on every device you use. You sign in once on each one, and everything stays in sync.
How do I uninstall later if I change my mind?
Same way you'd remove any app: long-press the icon and choose Remove (iPhone / Android) or right-click and choose Uninstall (desktop). Uninstalling never affects your data — sign back in from the browser any time.
I want to install but my device isn't listed.
Most modern browsers support installing web apps. If you don't see an install option, try Chrome (Android, desktop) or Safari (iPhone, iPad, macOS) — those are the most reliable. Still stuck? Email support@ourcaringcircle.com.
